“The Tudors” Returns Tonight

King Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is back — and, boy, is he ticked off.

As “The Tudors” (9 p.m. Showtime) returns for its second season tonight, our volcanic monarch is locked in an epic battle of wills with the Catholic Church and his defiant estranged wife. Seems he wants to ditch her, thumb his nose at tradition and marry the saucy Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer). Maybe you’ve read about it in a history book or two.

Rhys Meyers and Dormer have amazing chemistry and their Henry and Anne absolutely sizzle on the screen. But something tells us that this relationship won’t last. Just a hunch.
